What I Do

As a User Experience Designer, I work to improve existing designs, create something brand new, and discover innovation. In my last role I was able to dive into brand strategy and help newly formed companies define their place in the landscape.

I do this through:

  • UX strategy and vision

  • User research and testing

  • Sitemap, wireframes, personas, prototyping

  • Brand strategy

  • Thought leadership

  • Cross discipline collaboration

  • Problem solving and critical thinking

  • Project management

See my work and get in touch!

Experience

I have over 10 years of experience developing critical thinking, problem solving, and leadership skills within large and small organizations. I have experience leading projects and mentoring junior team members.

Most recently, as part of a small agency I enjoyed working across different disciplines on naming and brand strategy projects.

Testimonials

And she completely owned it. She ran usability testing, wrote functional requirements, constructed content strategy and content objectives, wireframes and so on, and most importantly stood as a firm voice of reason for the most important person: The user.

She’s wicked talented.
